Bodensee Restaurant

Stood up front awhile before even getting acknowledged, there was a family of 4 in front of my family of 3. The lady who came was nice but just grabbed menus for both parties and rushed us to tables. Didn’t get to ask for a GF menu or ask any questions until we were already sat. Only things on the menu she could point out gluten free were the brats and potato salad and said the chicken should be unless there was breading. My daughter 13 who has celiac wasn’t too excited about her options and I wasn’t willing to risk it. Especially with the way everything was so rushed. So we got up and left. Found out big daddy has gf buns and pizza so went there.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

When I asked about gf options the server told me the best choice would be just grilled chicken and steamed vegetables which was pretty disappointing. That said, I ordered the grilled salmon and potatoes which were delicious. The rest of my non-gf party loved the food. I would not go if you are celiac though.

We had my daughter's wedding rehersal dinner there. I am gluten intolerant and they let me know every time they brought a new platter out if it was Gluten free. I am very sensitive to gluten and I had absolutely no problem. Neither did the grooms Aunt who has Celiac.

Our new favorite restaurant for German food!

If we asked about anything the owner or his wife came out to answer our questions.

I went to lunch with my parents here and it was a good experience overall! They couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be cross contamination in the kitchen but I decided to give it a try anyways! I had potato salad, sourkraut, and red cabbage (I’m mostly vegetarian so I couldn’t really have any of the gluten free entrees) and my mom had the salmon. We both really enjoyed our meals and would definitely come back!

Definitely not gluten free. I asked if they had a gluten free menu as we were being seated and the waitress looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language and said "nothing here is gluten free". After she told us there was definitely a risk for contamination, we didn't stay to eat.

Celiac friendly?

No

We went here with 2 members of our family who have celiac. We were told that most things here are made without wheat. Only the schnitzel was coated in wheat and that was pan fried, so no problems with cross-contamination. We had sausages and fries with no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No dedicated fryer. For those not gluten free they no longer offer potato wedges even though it is listed with many menu items. You are hard pressed to find a gluten free item despite their claims.

Celiac friendly?

No

90% of their menu is gluten free. Great choices and very good food. No problem accommodating us. Will go there again and recommend it. Wish they had some gluten free desserts though.

We have eaten here 3 times over the past 6 months. Each time the staff were very accommodating. Our daughter with celiacs has enjoyed eating here with not a single issue. She is highly sensitive, so we would know if there was any cross contamination. We have met the owners who checked on us throughout our visit.

Do Not Eat Here if you are ceiliac! They do not have gluten free menu. I asked waitress about GF options. Asked about dedicated fryer. Meal came with fried onion rings all over it, chef /owner was RUDE and argued with me about it and said I could pay for it or leave! Just brought the same one back without the rings! UNBELIEVABLE!
